An Edmonton couple discovered a potential prehistoric artifact in their front yard last year while doing some landscaping.

Jennifer Yeoman and Hector Lomack found a 4.6-pound chunk of obsidian core, which is a type of volcanic glass that doesn't usually form in Alberta due to the lack of volcanoes.

Archeologists are now investigating the discovery further to determine its historical significance.

Global's Jaclyn Kucey reports.
